So you've KonMari'd your closet, donated the baby gear, and finally tamed the junk drawer. Your home looks… decluttered. But your nervous system? Still on edge.

If you've ever walked into your kid's room and felt like the Legos might actually swallow you whole, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.

In this real-talk episode, I break down why a home with less stuff can still feel overstimulating—and what to do when your outer space doesn't match your inner peace.

💡 You'll Learn:

• Why visual clutter isn't the only kind of clutter messing with your calm

• The difference between "expected mess" vs. true clutter—and why it matters

• How to navigate the tension between your needs and real life with kids (without guilt)

• Simple questions to help you decide what's worth addressing—and what's just part of the season you're in

✨ Highlights from the Episode:

• My honest response to a listener who decluttered and still feels overwhelmed

• The reframe that will help you stop gaslighting yourself for being "too sensitive"

• Real-life examples of how to reset overstimulating spaces (without tossing everything)

• What to do when your minimalist values clash with plastic toys, busy schedules, and motherhood

🧘‍♀️ Truth Bomb of the Day:

You don't want less stuff. You want less nervous system activation. And that's a completely valid goal.

So let's shift the conversation from "how much is too much" to: → What supports your peace? → What disrupts your calm? → And how can you build rhythms that honor both your family and your own capacity?
